Th e success th e y h ave m pt vith is established by authentic documents. It may be f . 0 4 . 1 _d .! without exaggeration, that the results are brilliant ; a‘ r . these Companies have produced to their Shareholders an ,ego dividend of 20 per cent., and some of them much -mo te. Ip , t ll- 1 e experience acquired by the working of these Com ,de es has led to the conclusion that, in order to give full . ne ,, ve °Pinent to the principles which have proved so sue -1,1i'8"11, it is desirable to found a Central Company of an bey ernational character, the main functions of which should to raise capital by the issue of bonds and "lettres de t c " in the g r eat money markets of Europe, to be em la3led through associated local Companies in purchases of ta n or loans upon real property, in countries where the !,9 of interest is high. i 3 anque Hypothecaire Beige, acting on this prin lie,„?and established nearly three years ago, has, with a 13 e ;`"Pal capital of £480,000 only, succeeded placing on the that its market alone such an amount of " lettres de gage" be shares witla L 6 paid have risen to and maintained The at 418. peen e capital, raised in Belgium at 4 and ugh cent. has de c r ern ,,P l° 9ed principal in Austria, thr La Banque r e tina Foncier et Industriel, which has a branchtat Nre „,.f completely organised, with a staff thoroughly th e 11l Austrian affairs ; and it is shown by the boo ks o f d.Atls °1 ia, 7opany not one has of all realise its operationsd less than 20 of p per cent., urchase and after sale 4 tr 2ri , clet ing all expenses, while generally they have reached Or cent. I f? L iell being the result of Companies limited to the Bel -411 none still market for raising capital, it is evident that n oio greater results may be obtained by forming an Inter facylal Company with a share capital large enough to 41.01 itate the placing of bonds and" lettres de gage" on the markets of England, France, Holland, and Ger .

A ccordinly, the present Company has been founded, Vider the English Law of Limited Liability, and with an 1 ,2 4 ce and Direction in London, as welt as at Brussels; ar- E n .gernents have been made while e Banque Hypothecaire ~,elge for a complete fusion, a treaty has been eon- Vded with the Banque de Credit-Foncier et Industriel, ' llO l ensures the benefit of their experience, and a large ''aid profitable business from the commencement, a mini dividend of 11 per cent. on the paid-up Share Capital ° tag secured in any event, as the result of the first year's Worki ng . „_lt is also proposed to enter into an arrangement with the Vindobona. This Society, which has existed at Vienna tor five years, and has a capital of 10,000,000 florins, gua tantees the regular payment of interest upon mortgage debts, as well as the principal when due. By this means , MI the business done in Austria will be rendered perfectly OCure. The Vindobona is in the most flourishing state. It has Paid the first year 6 per cent., the second 12 per cen t . , the t hird 15 per cent., and at the next meeting it is expected it mill distribute 25 per cent. Particular attention is cal led to th is Point. This guarantee is one of the features which Zgontially distinguishes this Company from other Land redit Companies. % Si t Pounds (L 6) per share will be called in the course of present year, inclusive of the payment of £1 each on trication and allotment ; after which, it is not expected "e:,., t ; t14 3 7 further Calls whatever will be made.

This Company is now erecting a first-class family Hotel, upon the extensive freehold grounds of more than an acre in extent formerly belonging to Clarence-house, the purchase of which has recently been completer( by the Directors. The grounds occupy a commtuding area in the centre of the Marine-parade, lacing the sea, and having tue noble Ca tle and extensiv , :, for,ifications in picturesque contiguity. From th.' existing want of hotel accommodation of a resi dential character in the fashionable part of Dover it is reason able 'co suppose that the Clarence Hotel will be filled with visitors throu2houll the year, and the Directors are confident that it will pay very large dividends to the shareholders. The Company's architect, Mr. Whichcord, his been success ful in producing plans for the buildings proposed to be erected. which so thoroughly combine architectural symmetry and ample accommodation with extreme simplicity of construc tion as to have afforded the Directors the highest satisfaction in adopting th m. The erection of this Hotel has been undertaken by Mr. Lewis Glenton, with whom the Directors have concluded a very favourable contract for the purpose. Mr. Glenton's position as a contractor for large works, and notably as the constructor of the Grand Hotel at Brighton, now rapidly ap proaching completion, affords a most complete guarantee for excellence of workmanship and punctua sty in completion, and the Directors esteem themselves fortunate in having effected an arrangement so calculated to serve the Company's interests. The first stone of the Hotel was laid at the close of the past year by the Chairman of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, and the works are now in full progress. A considerable portion of the Company's capi al has been already subscribed, and the remaining shares are now offered to the public. to whom, as a sound investment, the undertak ing is cordially commended. Interest at the rate of £5 per cent. per annum will be allowed upon all calls previous to the opening of the Hotel. The elevation and ground-plan of the Hotel, together with the Article , of Assoc ation, may be seen at the Company's offices, 36, Cannon-street, B.C. - • - , . . rums for application for shares may be also obtained at the offices of the Company, By orde r.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of making and maintaining telegraphic lines of comm unication, both su bmarine and on lan, in every part of the world. The facility of intercourse which telegraphic communi cation now, in such extensive operation, has afforded to the public in its varied communities—Political, Commercial, and Social—has rendered that which was, but a few years ago, regarded merely as a scientific experiment, absolutely necessary for the purposes of our social system, and a highly remunerative investment. It has been found that, as in the case of railways (although to a much greater ex tent), telegraphic cables have uniformly developed a con stantly increasing traffic, with this remarkable and special feature, that the more distant the points brought into con nexion, the greater the proportion of business done. Experience has proved that increasing receipts from the working of submarine cables bring with them only a trifling proportionate increase in the amount of working expenses. Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company and the GuttaPercha C o mpany have hitherto together had the principal share in the manufacture of submarine telegraphic cables. The former firm, who have undertaken the manufacture, laying down, and maintenance of the cables, have hitherto obtained the inner cares of the cables from the Gutta Percha Company, which has, in this branch of its trade, confined itself entirely to the production of that part of the cable. Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company have, during the last ten years, manufactured and laid down in different parts of the world no less than 6,600 miles of Submarine Tele graph Cable, whilst the Gutta Percha Company have, dur ing a like period. manufactured upwards of 9,000 miles of insulated wires for Submarine Telegraph Cables now in work. It has been ascertained that the manufacture of entire cables could be more securely and beneficially carried on by uniting in one establishment the manufacture ofo the h o uter cable and wires, and the execution of the portion t the work heretofore separately executed byteGutta Percha Company,and with this view contracts have been entered into for the purchase of the entire machinery, premises. plant, patent, stock, goodwill, &c., of the GuttaPercha Company, by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company ; and that firm have agreed to transfer to this Company, at the cost price to them, the work so acquired. A contract has also b een con cluded with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company, for the acquisition, by this Company, of their manufactory, premises, patents, stock, and business, the consideration being paid, to the extent of £lOO,OOO, in fully paid up Shares of the Company. Under these combined arrange ments the Company will enter into possession of the amal gamated business and be entitled to their profits as from the Ist of January last. The Company's business will be conducted under the personal superintendence of Mr. Barclay and Mr. Glass, as managing directors, assisted by the efficient staff of the united Compenies. The agreement with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company provides for the assignment, with the consent of the Trea sury, to the Company of the lease held by that firm of the Submarine Telegraph between Malta and Alexandria. The Alexandria, Cairo, and Suez Telegraph, held by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company under agreement with the Telegraph to India Company is also comprised in the arrangement. The large profits which have hitherto been realised by both of the above firms, and the prospect which exists of considerable extension of the business, justify the expecta tion of a large return to the Shareholders, independently of the profits arising from the working of the telegraph lines above referred to. Copies of the above contracts, together with the Articles of Association of the Company, may be inspected at the Solicitors' Offices. Applications for Shares must be made in the annexed form ; but no application will be considered unless the de posit of £1 per share has been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company. This deposit will be returned if no allot ment is made to the applicant, and if an allotment is made, it will bo applied towards the payment then due. An option will be given to the Subscribers of taking one fourth of the Shares allotted as fully paid up Shares. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Brokers. London, April 7, 1861. F0R..11 OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of purchas ing and extending the well known and valuable business, hitherto carried on by pr vate capitalists, under the firm of " The Millwall Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company." 2. The capabilities of the Millwall establishm , nt for the pro duction of every class of iron work are unsurpassed. The engineers' shops are furnished with the most complete 1119- dern machinery adapted for the construction of marine en gines of high power ; the two foundries, the rolling mills, the smiths' ships, and forges, with eight steam hammers—of sufficient power to execute forgings of the heaviest class— are in pertect working condiiion, including all the latest im provements. 3. These mills and forges alone are, from their capacity and efficiency, of great value; and when taker. in conjunction with the ship building yard, present a combination for pr )- fitable results not existing elsewhere. The rolling mills, which are for the manufacture of plates and angle iron for ship's purposes, and armour plates, are the most powerful in the kingdom, and now stand unsurpassed for the high character of their manufacture, and can produce 1,000 tons per week, including at least 7LO tons of finished iron. 4. Upon the ship-building yard, which possesses a frontage to the River Thames of 1.750 feet, there , s capacity for laying down 15,000 tons of shipping. It comprises a new and care fully-00 dock (in which the armour-clad frigate Northum berland, 6,620 tons, is now being c .nstructed for her Majesty's Government., with all necessary appliances for shipbuilding. 5. In addition to Ships being constructed for the British Government, the Italian Government, the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, the Intercolonial Royal Mail Seam Packet Company, the Ottoman Government, and private merchants, twelve screw steamships with their engines are under con tract, O. The Company has also purchased the Britannia Graving or' Dry Deck, now in efficient working, and the adjoining land, called Ferausson's Mast-pond, containing space for two dry docks of 470 and 350 feet respectively. 7. The operations of the Company will be conducted by Mr. George Harrison, whose great experience and abilities will be devoted exclusively to the interests of this company, and and as the whole of the valuable 1 roperty has been ceded to the Company upon terms which are considered highly ad vantageous, the result of the undert _king may be cons dered , as assured. 8. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the de -1 posit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be a lotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made avatable towards the payment on allotment, and the balance if any, returned to the app,icant.

The great Trunk Railway from Vienna, in the direction of the frontier of Moldavia, is at present complete es far as Lemberg. Tt•e communication is effected by means , A' two lines. The first being the Northern Railway, from Vienn. to Cracow; the second, the Carl -Ludwig Rahway, from Cracow to Lemberg• The first of these lines pays about 14 per cent. upon its capital. The second was completed only at the end of 1861. but since its opening has paid 8 per cent. upon its capital, and consequently has never required to claim the guarantee of 5 per cent. accorded to it by the Austrian Government. The present line is the continuation from Lemberg to Czernowitz, near the Moldavian frontier. The concession has been granted by the Austrian Government on terms un usually favourable to the company undertaking it. The proposed railway, enter ng into the heart of the grain and cattle-producing district whence the Carl -Ludwig line obtains its most Important traffic, and being constructed at a very considerably less cost, promises ta i be more profitable than its neighbour. The continuance of the line through Mo'davia to Galatz, on the Danube 'for which a concession has recently been granted by the Chambers of thenPrips), must neces sarily add largely to the profits f the Lemberg-Czernowit z Railway, which will thus form an integral cart in an un broken and direct railway Communication between the Baltic, the German Ocean, and the Black Sea. The concession, the duration of which is ninety years, sti pulates for the commencement of the works previous to the i ith January, 1t65, and for their completion within three years ; but provision is made for extension of these periods in case of political or financial crisis. The Government guarantee a fixed sum of £150,000 in silver ts :Iscesti th money as a net annual revenue of the line. The sum thus guaranteed by the Government, after pro viding for the payment of interest at 5 peg cent• on the Bonds, and for an annual sinking Lund, will leave a clear 7 per be annually applied by lot to the redemption of the Bonds and Shares at par. The proprietors of the Shares thus, from cent. applicable to the share cap time to time, redeemed will, for each share, receive a certifi cateitaL The sinking fund will entitling the bearer to a Participation, during the re maining term of the concession, in all the profits of the Com pany exceeding 5 per cent. on the original capital. A contract, which wilt be adopted by the Company, has been entered into by the 00 neessionaires with Mr. Brassey for a sum of £2,450,0 00 . This contract provides for the construction of the rai way in accordance with the terms of the concession, and for stock ing the same with rolling stock. It includes all the preli minary expenses of acquiring the concession and forming the Company ; it makes provision for interest during con struction on paid-up capital at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum ; and it covers an ample reserve for the expenses y shall be opened for public railway shall whereby the liability the requisite power to form a So teinontaken. of the subscriber will be limited to the amount of 25 per cent of the nominal amount of their Shares.

China is the only large c untry in the civilised world which has no direct bank in London operating solely for its benefit; and it is obvious that a vast fertile region, inhabited by 300 millions of intelligent people, who carry on an enormous in ternal trade by means of native joint-stock and private banks of issues, and who have an extensive and increasing com mercial intercourse with Europe, India, America, and Australia, must present a lucrative field ior monetary ope rations. Great Britain imports from China and Japan (via China) upwards of 7,000,0001 b. of silk and about 120,00J,00J1b. of tea. Tue rapid increase of trade is thus shown : Imports Exports to Total trade be- Years. of China China of British twe , n (hi is and Produce. Manuf actares.

The port of Shanhai alo Je exhibits an extraordinary de velopment. In 1842 it had no European trade; in 1812 the va ue of its exports was £14,667,466, its imports £22,863,953 total, £37,531,419. The balance of Trade with China is paid in bullion—chiefly silver—of which the export value was, in 185 , , £102,316; in 1862, £3 4, 8 397. Cotton is now becoming a large stern of trade; during the last six mont s 01 1803 more than 20,090,0001 b. were exported. . The Imperial Bank of China has therefore been formed to supply -a acknowledged want on the plan which has been so successfully carried out in London by the banks for India and other similar institutions, the success of which the following t , ble will exemplify, and it is believed at least equal sumss will mark the progress of this bank;— Paid up Present per Price per Share.

The Imperial B ink of China will transact all operations connected with those of a bank of issue, deposit, discount, and exchange. The directing and controlling authority will be in London. Branch Banks, with boar,ts of local directors, will be formed at llong Kong, Canton, Shanghai, Foochow, Tientsin, Pekin, and at such other cities as may from time to time be deemed. advisable. Thcbranches will be under the control of the Lon don board, aided by the supervision of an inspector-general, as in the case with the Indian and Colonial auks, and the authorisation of the Government of Pekin has been solicited to al ow the specie notes of the Imperial Bank of China to be received in payment of custom duties and at the tax offices throughout the empire, an offiA 4.corres ondence now being carried on by the Bank with Pekin for that object ; and as the Pekin Government will not trust the native local banks, it is believed this Bank will become to the Government of china what the Imperial Ottoman Bank is to that of Turkey. The desire on the part of the Government of China foe railways and telegraphic communication will render neces sary extensive financial operations, which the Imperial Ban , of China will be pecu iarly favourably situated to un dertake.

This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a Railway from Chiasso to Masai in the Canton of Tessin, Switzerland, with the design of extending the line to Lucerne, by the Alpine Pass of the St. Gothard, or to Coire by the Pass of the Luckmanier. The line now to be made from Chias - o to Blasca is indis pensable to either of these routes, it being the only line al lowed by the Swiss Government to connect the railways of North Italy, the line being comparatively easy of construc tion, free from costly works, and promising a large traffic. The Company has, however, secured from the Canton Tessin, bes des the concession of the line from Chiasso to Blasco, the preferential right to construct the extension of their line to any junction with the system of railways of Central Europe, whether at Lucerne or at Coire, and this peculiarly a d van tageous condition forms a very important f e ature of the present enterprise. State subventions to a very considerable amount have been voted in aid of t"e proposed Alpine Railway, which is ac knoveedged to be of the highest national importance to both Switzerland and Italy. The lines proposed by this Company will complete the shortest overland route to India and China aeross the centre of Europe, and will effect a saving of three days' sea naviga- tion. As the line from Chiaro to Biasca, which is intended to j , in the Lombardo-Venetian lines, will open a direct com munication between the most important towns of the Canton Tessin and the railway network of Italy, connecting also the three Lakes of Como, LuTano, and Maggiore, and as it forms the key of the whole po4ition. the Directors have eso ved to commence this line forthwith, pending the surveys and ne gotiations for determining the precise Alpine Pass to be finally adopted for the extension. Responsible contractors have undertaken to construct and complete the line for a sum within the amount of capital ; and i he works were commenced on the 18th of January, lathe presence of Government officials. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum will be paid t o Shareholders duri n g construction, u p on the amounts from time to time paid in respect of the r shares. Full particulars are given in the detailed Prospectus, which may be obtained, together with the Map, at the Offices of the Company. Applications for Sharesmust be addressed to the Directors, and copies of the Prospeztus may be obtained at the Tern por Offices of the Company, or at the Offices of the Finan cial Corporation (Limited), 34, Lea denhall- street ; the Brokers and Solicitors ; but no application will be con-idered unless a Deposit of £1 per Share on the number of Shares a pplied for has been paid.
